Why stay here ...
Far from the Madding Crowd describes Heatherdown's position, not only by overlooking one of Thomas Hardy's valleys, but also by its peaceful and tranquil location. Ravens and buzzards abound by day, badgers and deer at night. Situated on the edge of the Purbecks, and close to the renown Jurassic Coast (Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door are 11 miles away). it is the ideal location for visiting Dorset's well-known attractions such as Monkey World, The Bovington Tank Museum, Sculpture by the Lake, several National Trust sites, the picturesque seaside resorts of Weymouth and Poole, and Brownsea Island to name but a few.
The site is spacious with glorious views, and is situated off a small, quiet country road. There is a local shop less than a mile away, and a good choice of pubs in the area. There are plenty of places to walk or cycle close by offering forest/heathland areas, or coastal hills. Two stables are available for riders wishing to bring their own horses.

Lovely site but no view
I am finding it a bit difficult to review this site as we have a very good stay, however the disappointment was the lack of a view. When I booked I had read about the great view from the site, which it certainly has, but we didn't get to see... Show more

Excellent stopover
We stayed overnight at Heatherdown before visiting the Bovington Tank Museum, which is 5 minutes away. This CL is a real find! Booking via phone and email was very easy and we were sent directions and a map to enable us to find the place. The field is mostly level,... Show more

Peaceful, level field with views
Only stayed for one night en route. Friendly owner, level field with views over Dorset countryside, peaceful. Great area for cycling and walking will definitely return.

Ideal CL
Quiet, peaceful, fantastic views, great location away from the maddening crowds and such a friendly welcome; what is there not to like! Non electric so keeps most people away - we just enjoyed the hot bank holiday week with the place to ourselves.

A really nice site
This is a lovely quiet site with very nice views. The owners are very helpful and friendly. There is lots to see and do locally and lovely walks from the site. We booked for 2 nights but stayed for 3 and will definitely be going back again.
